Aced - Breaking News

02/10/2018, Pakhuis de Zwijger, Amsterdam

Workshop
http://aced.site/news/what-value-can-design-have-in-the-journalism-of-tomorrow

Journalism is currently undergoing a huge transition. Media organizations are under pressure and are aware of the need to distinguish themselves in order to attract an audience. At the same time, a new generation of creatives takes flight in the development of experimental media forms. What role can creatives play in rapidly changing journalism? What value can the use of design and art have in the journalism of tomorrow?

During Breaking News, we search for this value: we invite designers, journalists, artists, illustrators, image makers, tech innovators, developers and researchers for a record attempt in storytelling. Together we celebrate the richness of our profession and will search for innovative forms of journalism. We combine artistic and journalistic forces to seek and shift the boundaries of storytelling.

The workshop program takes place at Pakhuis de Zwijger, where we work together on a collective front page. Each participant has literally one square meter available to tell his or her story. This can be done with image, text, podcast, video, collage, data, 3D, performance, digital media, art, audio. Participants are personally guided by the following artistic and journalistic experts:

• Anne-Marije Vendeville
•  Art Director at NRC Handelsblad & NRCNext

• Mark Deuze
•  Professor of Mediastudies | University of Amsterdam 

• Eva Hilhorst
•  Graphic Journalist and Chief Editor at Drawing the Times

Outcome

Work together with Martina Huynh (huynhmartina@gmail.com), recent graduate at Man & Communication at the Design Academy Eindhoven.

We picked the topic show news. Show news and 'real' news are merging, for example with former reality star Donald Trump as the president of the United States, or Rihanna campaigning at the Dutch government to financially support education for girls in various countries in Africa.

The actors are now moving between gossip and news, and so are the ways to tell a story. The whole notion of human-interest journalism is something that started in shownews, and found its way across other fields.

Now it's time to take another way of shownew storytelling to the rest of the news: real-life series.

REAL NEWS - LIVE REALITY lets you follow your favourite news characters, in the form of a live reality soap. A script collects the headlines featuring your favourite reality news character, and presents it as a story, automatically paired with images.

During the workshop we collected the story of Trump. What is Kanye West planning with him, does Kim Kardashian support Ye, or is she in favour of Trump. And why is Lana Del Rey so angry?

A real-life soap, based on headings of the NYTimes, Dailymail, El Pais, de Volkskrant, NRC and the correspondent.
